Artist Statement
S t o r y
The Migration collection is intended to capture the subject of departure highlighting the positive aspect of separation, leaving, breaking ties, closing the old chapter and starting anew.
The paper airplane objects encompassing a dynamic force and pictured as a faceless portrait of a traveler, explorer and a pioneer.
Simple light emotion of this flying element takes you to those carefree childhood memories, full of play time and moment when one explores physical nature.
These are intrinsic to what the artist intends to carry as a momentum, sourcing her creative streams from such ethereal structures.
Imposing or sometimes enveloping, the paper plane as a symbol against often opulent cloud background is meant to strengthen the message emphasising the scale of ever-changing terrain around us.
The clouds are big, strong, dominating. But full of detail and complexity.
In contrast, the paper planes are small, fragile yet perfectly built to take on a flight of undefined trajectory.
These little vessels are not meant to be this high up, naturally. However, just like us, they find themselves redefining the limits. Empowered within.
